Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoi Atalla is a Senior Software Engineer at Google with 13 years of experience building backend systems, currently contributing to the Hangouts and Chat backend from Mountain View. A Georgia Tech computer science alumnus and largely self-taught coder, he evolved from writing Java games in high school to architecting production services and tools at scale. His background spans game development, full-stack robotics software for Georgia Tech’s RoboJackets, and IoT back-end work—contributing fixes and subscription/registration improvements to the open-source Meshblu project used for cross-protocol device messaging. Comfortable across systems, web, and open-source libraries, he brings strong debugging instincts and a history of turning prototypes into integrated features. Unusually for a backend engineer, he also has hands-on experience integrating C++ modules into Node/NPM tooling and tuning physics/visualization in simulation systems.
